Hello guys,
I relay a petition to BMD about adding Super16 windowed mode for supporting our old lenses with the BMPCC4K

"We do love first Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, so we have a lot of Super 16 lenses for it.
New Pocket 4K camera is called to replace old one, so we wanna use our old lenses with it. But sensor size of new camera is too big or to small (in 1080 windowed mode) for this.
So, we suggest Blackmagic Design team to add Super 16 windowed mode to new Pocket 4K camera. Let it be 2.7K or 2.8K mode, for example with 1080p downsizing in ProRes, or do it as you think it must be done..."

I find this idea interesting and I hope it will win the support for those who, like me, find that the super 16 can still live 20 years and more

For the millionth time, before the petition even went live, the product manager said that they are well-aware that people want a Super16 crop. If they're actually adding it, which I'm pretty positive they are, they aren't going to announce it before announcing the first firmware update. That's the earliest it can be added and they certainly aren't going to announce it before the camera has a solid shipping date.

In addition to the ability to use old c-mount lenses, the "Super 16" 2.8K mode will be good because such a resolution will be much easier for a computer to pull than 4K. And the quality will be noticeably higher than FHD with upload on YouTube because the video will receive more bitrate from YouTube and there will be no need to do upscale to 4K anymore.
